Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to a medical administration barrel and a method of sealing the barrel, and, particularly, to a medical administration barrel having grooves assisting in minimizing headspace between a piston and substance within the barrel during the sealing process.
- Vacuum piston placement is a piston placement process utilized to insert a piston into an open end of a pre-filled container in order to seal off the substance within the container in an airtight manner from the exterior environment.
- the piston and the pre-filled container are exposed to a vacuum, i.e., a pressure lower than atmospheric pressure, and then the piston is thereafter sealingly engaged with the open end of the container.
- the exterior of the piston and container assembly is thereafter restored to atmospheric pressure, such that a pressure differential is created across the piston between the proximal and distal surfaces thereof.
- the pressure differential drives the piston down the barrel until the friction force balances the pressure difference.
- the piston may be further advanced, e.g., by a pushing member, until pressure equilibrium is reached across the piston.
- One drawback of the vacuum piston placement process is that where a low volume of substance is filled in a larger container, a large amount of headspace, i.e., the space between the distal surface of the piston and the substance, may still remain after the piston reaches the position associated with pressure equilibrium.
- the headspace volume may equal approximately 30% of the volume of the substance filled within the container.
- One approach to minimizing headspace between the piston and the substance filled inside the container may be to utilize smaller containers.
- a container may be sized to fit only the piston height, in addition to the length associated with the desired volume of the filled substance.
- an administration system located behind the piston is utilized to drive the piston forward during use of the container (e.g., when injecting the substance within the container into a recipient)
- the smaller sized container may not have the necessary space to accommodate the administration system behind the piston. Accordingly, where an administration system is present, the longer container is necessary.
- the sealed container may be exposed to different chemical and/or environmental changes during transport that may potentially cause retraction and ejection of the piston out of the open end of the container.
- the container may be exposed to sub- atmospheric pressure during air transportation, or travel through high elevation regions, which may lead to retraction of the piston.
- the container may be exposed to extreme temperatures, which may lead to retraction of the piston.
- an internal reaction of the substance within the container may cause a change in headspace gas pressure, which may also lead to retraction of the piston.
- the relatively large air bubble constituting the headspace and trapped within the container may be problematic when dispensing the substance thereafter.
- a container configured to receive the piston and, if employed, an administration system behind the piston, and also assist in further advancing the piston into the container when utilizing the vacuum piston placement process, to minimize headspace volume.
- one aspect of the present invention is directed to a method of minimizing headspace between a substance filled in a medical administration barrel and a piston sealing off an open proximal end of the medical administration barrel.
- the medical administration barrel has at least one groove in an interior wall thereof, the at least one groove defining a length extending a distance from the open end of the medical administration barrel toward an opposing distal end of the medical administration barrel.
- the at least one groove permits fluid to bypass the piston when positioned along the at least one groove.
- the method comprises the steps of sealingly engaging a vacuum enclosure with the proximal open end of the medical administration barrel, the vacuum enclosure receiving the piston therein; applying a vacuum to an interior of the sealed vacuum enclosure and medical administration barrel, such that pressure within the sealed vacuum enclosure and medical administration barrel is less than pressure external to the medical administration barrel; physically advancing the piston into the medical administration barrel along the length of the at least one groove, the at least one groove permitting fluid to bypass the piston.
- the method further comprises the step of ceasing physical advancement of the piston upon reaching an initial portion of the interior wall of the medical administration barrel free of the at least one groove, thereby sealingly engaging the interior wall of the medical administration barrel and providing an air-tight seal inside a portion of the medical administration barrel between the piston and a distal end of the medical administration barrel and maintaining the vacuum between the piston and the substance positioned within the medical administration barrel.
- the method comprises the step of disengaging the vacuum enclosure from the proximal open end of the medical administration barrel, thereby relieving a portion of the medical administration barrel between the piston and the proximal open end of the medical administration barrel from the vacuum and creating a pressure differential across the piston causing the piston to slide further toward the substance in the medical administration barrel and minimizing the headspace between the substance and the piston.
- the sealed medical administration barrel comprises a medical administration barrel having an open proximal end and a closed distal end, and at least one groove in an interior wall thereof.
- the at least one groove defines a length extending a distance from the open end of the medical administration barrel toward the distal end of the medical administration barrel and defining a substantially constant depth and width along the length thereof.
- a substance is contained within the medical admimstration barrel, having a predetermined volume; and a piston is sealing engagement with the interior wall of the medical admimstration barrel.
- the at least one groove permits fluid to bypass the piston when positioned along the at least one groove. At least a portion of the piston is positioned distally from the at least one groove, thereby sealing the substance within the medical administration barrel.

- the medical administration barrel 10 may take the form of any container having a cavity or a chamber capable of being filled with a substance, such as, for example, without limitation, a syringe, a cartridge, or the like.
- the barrel 10 includes an open proximal end 10a, an opposing a closed distal end 10b, and a chamber 10c therebetween.
- the chamber 10c defines an interior wall 1 Od extending between the proximal and distal ends 10a, 10b.
- the closed distal end 10b may take the form of any sealed end through which fluid communication from outside of the barrel 10 may be established with the chamber 10c, such as, for example, without limitation, a pierceable septum, a tip having a removable sealing cap, or the like.
- the barrel 10 further includes a flange 12 laterally extending from the open proximal end 10a.
- the barrel 10 may alternatively not include a flange 12, or include a differently configured flange 12.
- the barrel 10 furdier includes at least one groove 14 in the interior wall lOd thereof, longitudinally extending a length L from the proximal open end 10a toward the distal end 10b.
- the barrel 10 includes a plurality of grooves 14 defining substantially the same length L.
- Each of the grooves 14 also defines a substantially constant depth and width along the length L thereof.
- the medical administration barrel 10 is a 10 ml cartridge.
- the 10 ml cartridge includes a plurality of grooves 14 defining a length L between approximately 5 mm and approximately 25 mm.
- the grooves 14 define a length L of approximately 20 mm.
- the plurality of grooves 14 also define a substantially constant depth along the length L, between approximately 0.2 mm and approximately 0.6 mm, and a substantially constant width along the length L, between approximately 1 mm and 4 mm.
- a piston 16 (Figs. 2, 3A-3E) is advanced into the chamber 10c, via the open proximal end 10a of the barrel 10.
- the piston 16 is configured to sealingly engage the interior wall l Od of the barrel 10, thereby providing an air-tight seal for the substance S within the chamber 10c from the external environment.
- the piston 16 includes at least one annular rib 16a projecting radially therefrom for slidable scaling engagement with the interior wall lOd of the medical administration barrel 10.
- the piston 16 includes two axial ly-spaced annular ribs 16a.
- the piston 16 may include more than two ribs 16a, or, alternatively, may be constructed with no ribs 16a, but rather be dimensioned such that the radial periphery thereof entirely or predominantly sealingly engages the interior wall lOd and provide and air-tight seal therebetween.
- the piston 16, therefore, seals the chamber 10c (and the substance S therein) once at least a portion of the piston 16 is positioned inside the barrel 10 distally from the at least one groove 14.
- gas may bypass the piston 16 through the grooves 14, when both annular ribs 16a of the piston 16 are positioned along the grooves 14. Once at least the distal most annular rib 16a is advanced past the grooves 14, the piston 16 seals the chamber 10c.
- Fig. 2 is a schematic view of a vacuum piston placement device ("PPD") 50.
- the PPD 50 includes a barrel supporting member 52, a vacuum enclosure 54, a pushing member 56, a vacuum enclosure moving mechanism 58, an actuator 60, a pressure control mechanism 62, and a control unit 64.
- the medical administration barrel 10 pre-filled with the predetermined volume of substance S, is supported by the barrel supporting member 52 of the PPD 50.
- the barrel 10 is received within a complementary tube 52a of the supporting member 52 and the flange 12 of the barrel 10 is axially supported by a laterally extending flange 52b of the supporting member 52.
- the barrel 10 may be axially supported in the PPD 50 via any of numerous methods, currently know or that later become known.
- the vacuum enclosure 54 is movable to sealingly engage and cover the proximal open end 10a of the ban-el 10 in an airtight manner.
- the vacuum enclosure moving mechanism 58 moves the vacuum enclosure 54 under the control of the control unit 64.
- examples of the vacuum enclosure moving mechanism 58 include, but are not limited to, a fluid pressure cylinder device, a motor and the like.
- the pushing member 56 is disposed to be movable along generally a center axis of the vacuum enclosure 54.
- the pushing member 56 has a rod-like shape, but may alternatively take the form of other shapes.
- the pushing member 56 extends through an insertion hole 54a, formed in a proximal end of the vacuum enclosure 54, and into an interior chamber 54b of the vacuum enclosure 54.
- the pushing member 56 is advanceable and retractable through the insertion hole 54a in a slidable, airtight manner.
- the vacuum enclosure 54 may include a sealing member (not shown), in slidable contact with the outer periphery of the pushing member 56.
- the actuator 60 advances and retracts the pushing member 56 under the control of the control unit 64.
- examples of the actuator 60 include, but are not limited to, a fluid pressure cylinder device, a motor, and the like.
- the pressure control mechanism 62 includes an air line 66 with one end connected in fluid communication with the vacuum enclosure 54 and the other end connected with a vacuum source 68, such as, for example, without limitation, a vacuum pump. Under the control of the control unit 64, the vacuum source 68 of the pressure control mechanism 62 is operated, whereby air in the chamber 54b of the vacuum enclosure 54 is withdrawn via the air line 66, thereby reducing pressure in the vacuum enclosure chamber 54b and the medical administration barrel chamber 10c to a desired reduced pressure, as explained further below.
- a vacuum source 68 such as, for example, without limitation, a vacuum pump.
- the vacuum source 68 is operated to apply a vacuum to the chambers 54b and 10c, thereby reducing the pressure therein to a predetermined pressure P 2 .
- the pressure P 2 inside the chambers 54b and 10c is lower than atmospheric pressure Pi (approximately 1 bar) outside of the vacuum enclosure 54 and the barrel 10.
- the piston 16, positioned within the chamber 54b, or partially within the barrel 10 along the extent of the grooves 14, is not exposed to a pressure differential, because the chambers 54b and 10c are in fluid communication.
- the pushing member 56 is advanced by the actuator 60 to engage the piston 16 and physically advance the piston 16 into the barrel 10 through the open proximal end 10a thereof toward the substance S.
- fluid e.g., air
- the piston 16 is physically advanced into the barrel 10, along the span of the grooves 14, fluid, e.g., air, within the barrel 10 forward (distal) of the piston 16 is displaceable to the rear of the piston 16 via the grooves 14, bypassing the piston 16 and the annular ribs 16a. Therefore, as the piston 16 is advanced into the barrel 10 along the span of the grooves 14, the pressure P 2 remains the substantially same within both of the chambers 54b and 10c.
- the pushing member 56 physically advances the piston 16 into the barrel 10 until at least an initial portion of the piston 16 surpasses the grooves 16 and sealingly engages substantially the entire interior wall lOd of the groove along a cross-section thereof.
- physical advancement of the piston 16 is ceased when the distal most annular rib 16a reaches an initial portion of the interior wall lOd of the barrel 10 past the length L of the grooves 14 (Figs. 3B, 3C).
- the piston 16 provides an airtight seal inside the portion of the barrel 10 defined between the piston 16 and the distal end 10b of the barrel 10.
- the vacuum enclosure 54 is disengaged from the proximal open end 10a of the barrel 10, i.e., the vacuum enclosure 54 is retracted, thereby releasing the vacuum applied to the vacuum enclosure 54 and the barrel 10. Accordingly, the portion of the medical administration barrel 10 between the piston 16 and the proximal open end 10a of the barrel 10 is no longer sealed and returns to atmospheric pressure Pi. The portion of the barrel 10 between the piston 16 and the distal end 10b of the barrel 10 remains sealed, and, therefore, the vacuum pressure P 2 is maintained. Consequently, a pressure differential is created across the piston 16, driving the piston 16 forward (without being pushed by the pushing member 56) further toward the substance S (Fig. 3D), as should be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art.
- the piston 16 is sealingly engaged with the interior wall lOd of the barrel 10 during the movement thereof due to the pressure differential across the piston 16, the portion of the barrel 10 between the piston 16 and the distal end 10b of the barrel comprises a sealed chamber, and fluid, e.g., air, can no longer escape. Accordingly, as the piston 16 is advanced further toward the substance S, the volume of the headspace between the piston 16 and the substance S decreases, and, therefore, the pressure P 2 progressively increases. The piston 16, thus, advances further toward the substance S under the drive of the pressure differential across the piston 16 until the increasing pressure P? , between the piston 16 and the substance S, is approximately equilibrated with the atmospheric pressure Pi proximal of the piston 16. Such forward advancement due to the pressure differential across the piston 16 minimizes the headspace between the piston 16 and the substance S.
- fluid e.g., air
